What is the problem or topic you wish to ? How will you approach this research? Why is this of interest to you and why should we be interested in this topic? Here you say what you will be doing in the remainder of the report so define carefully your interests and the parameters (scope) of your projected work. As you collect material and structure an outline keep referring to this section. Write a minimum of 1000 words

Topic - Smartphone forensics

In chapter 1, we learned about the Canadian financial reporting environment, including the stakeholders for a private, public, or government organization. Identify 3 major stakeholders that use financial accounting information and briefly explain how these stakeholders might use the information from financial statements.

Choose a living organism, and explain how it illustrates each of the characteristics of life.

Research and describe an organism or cell in which all 8 characteristics are not obvious. For example, coral looks like it does not move, red blood cells do not reproduce and have no DNA, frogs freeze in the winter and it therefore seems as if they do not maintain homeostasis, and so on.

Describe the missing feature, and explain how this organism still meets the criteria of a living thing.

Compare a living thing with a nonliving thing of your choice that has some of the characteristics that define life. For example, a car exhibits metabolism (burning gas and producing heat), a characteristic of life, but is not alive because it cannot reproduce.

Compare and contrast the following pairs based on the 8 characteristics that define life:

A rock and a snail

A lamp and a tree

Discuss some of the characteristics that fire shares with living things (it can grow, it metabolizes, and so on).

Consider that you are in charge of all paid search advertising through Google for your company. One of your colleagues is in charge of Instagram advertising. Your boss is in the process of putting together the marketing budget and has asked you to weigh in on how much should be allotted for Facebook advertising. He tells you that he feels that the organization’s funds would be better put toward increasing spending on Instagram as opposed to Google paid search advertisements. He says, “Pictures on Instagram are just more compelling than little blocks of text in a search engine’s results.” You couldn’t agree less with that sentiment, and you have the data to back it up.

How would you go about making the argument that Google paid search advertisements should receive more of the marketing budget compared to Instagram advertisements? What factors in your boss’s statement above are potentially not taking this into consideration?

What metrics would you use to help make your case, and how would you explain their relevance and importance?

Lesson Six Discussion Question:

Please respond to the following discussion,

Very few would argue with the claim that the President’s role as Commander-in-Chief is the greatest formal power that a president possesses. Yet, in the Constitution, only Congress has the authority to formally “declare war.” Presidents for the last 60-70 years have openly stated that they do not need Congressional authorization to use the military to pursue America’s interests on the global stage. As proof, America has not formally declared war since WWII. So, Korea, Vietnam, Gulf War, Iraq War, Afghanistan, and now Syria have all been military exercises, but not wars in the Constitutional sense.

Has the power of the President of the United States as Commander-in-Chief exceeded constitutional boundaries and should those powers be curtailed, given the constant state of war we find ourselves in? Or should the President’s military powers continue to expand to address the growing chaos in our world, despite the Constitution or in congruence with the Constitution? Explain your answer.

Your initial discussion postings (250-300 words) should demonstrate an understanding and analysis of the assigned readings and video. While you are welcome to incorporate additional scholarly external sources you find in your initial post, you are expected to cite mainly from the assigned material in your response demonstrating connections between your thoughts and the course resources. Please remember you are expected to cite your sources in APA format, you can review the Citation/Reference portion of the syllabus to refer to examples of APA format. In addition, you will also need to post two substantial responses (about 150-200 words) to at least two of your classmates' posts.

1. Scores on the belief in UFO’s test are normally distributed with m = 40 with a standard deviation of 3. Higher scores indicate greater belief in UFO’s. A sample of 24 people is forced to watch every episode of the X-Files TV show and then completes the test. The sample has a mean score of 46. Does watching the X-Files increase people’s belief in UFO’s? Use a = .01.

1b. According to your answers above, conduct the hypothesis test.

Step 1:

State your hypotheses in symbols. (Be sure to label H0 and H1.)

State your hypotheses in words. (Be sure to label H0 and H1.)
